Ugh why we gotta read this shit there’s nothing meaningful in the work

fucking truth!

I swear I’ve sat through two screenwriting classes and every time literature is brought up, those names are lauded as if they invented the written word.  Then when people bring up female/poc writers it’s “who is that?”  or even better *dead silence*  And if I’m being totally honest, not a single one of those writers really gets my rocks off.  I mean Walt and Robert are great poets, but still, not really my go to poets.
